How to Build a Seasonal Fragrance Wardrobe
Does the first crisp autumn air make you crave a cozier scent? Does a summer heatwave have you reaching for something bright and citrusy? That’s your intuition telling you it’s time to embrace the beautiful ritual of seasonal scenting.
Just as we swap our cashmere for linen, our fragrances can also evolve with the seasons, creating a wardrobe of scents that not only complements the weather but truly captures the energy of the moment.

Our sense of smell is incredibly powerful and closely linked to memory and emotion. The smell of spices and vanilla might remind us of holiday baking, while fresh citrus can evoke memories of a summer vacation.
The 4 Seasons of Fragrance
Autumn Fragrances: The Allure of Rich & Spicy
As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, our senses crave warmth, depth, and a touch of mystery. This is the season for fragrances that feel like a luxurious embrace, mirroring the cozy, romantic feeling of the season.
Look for fragrances that have a rich amber base, decadent vanillas, a hint of spice, or even woody scents. These mirror the crisp weather of fall giving off a warm, cozy, yet seductive vibe.
Our Autumn Selection: Une Nuit Parisienne
With its notes of rich amber, warm rum, and a whisper of nutmeg, Une Nuit Parisienne is the perfect companion for crisp walks and intimate evenings, a fragrance that lingers beautifully on a cashmere scarf.
Winter Fragrances: The Comfort of Deep & Earthy
When the world outside goes quiet and cold, our senses seek refuge in warmth and comfort. Winter is a season of introspection, of finding beauty in stillness. For winter, seek out scents that feel like a sanctuary.
Look for deep and earthy notes, creamy sandalwood, smoky woods, or resinous bases that provide a sense of grounding and warmth against the cold.
Our Winter Selection: Essence Santal
As a standalone fragrance, Essence Santal is the embodiment of winter elegance. Its deep, earthy, and creamy sandalwood notes create a meditative aura that is both grounding and sophisticated. For added complexity, layer it beneath your other fragrances to lend a rich, woody depth that’s perfect for the coldest days.
Spring Fragrances: The Joy of Fresh & Floral
With the return of sunlight and the first signs of blossoms, our scent preferences naturally shift towards the fresh, green, and floral. Spring is a time for renewal, so your fragrance should feel bright and alive.
Look for scents with fresh floral bouquets, crisp green notes, or a touch of light fruit to capture the joyful energy of the season. Think scents that are light, fresh, and effortless.
Our Spring Selection: Jardin Du Luxembourg
Capturing the essence of a Parisian garden in full bloom, Jardin Du Luxembourg is the perfect ode to spring. It’s a fragrance that feels like a walk through the park on a perfect spring day, a scent of effortless elegance.
Summer Fragrances: The Sparkle of Bright & Citrus
Summer is pure energy - a season of carefree days, sun-drenched afternoons, and warm nights. In the heat of summer, your fragrance should be light and refreshing.
Look for scents with sparkling citrus notes, light aquatic accords, or juicy fresh fruits that provide a burst of uplifting energy without feeling heavy.
Our Summer Selection: Essence Mandarine
Bright, zesty, and full of life, Essence Mandarine is summer in a bottle. Worn alone, it’s a vibrant and refreshing spritz of pure citrus that instantly uplifts the senses—perfect for a hot day. It can also be layered over your other fragrances to add a sparkling, sun-drenched twist.
Building a seasonal fragrance wardrobe is a personal journey of discovery. It’s about listening to your senses and choosing the scents that resonate with you in each moment.
Whether you’re drawn to the spicy warmth of autumn or the fresh florals of spring, your fragrance is the invisible thread that ties your story together.
